Taste of the Mediterranean

One of my favorite parts about fire cooking is that every culture has their own style of it. From South American Skirt Steak to North American Ribs, fire has found its place in some of the most delicious dishes countries have to offer.

The Mediterranean is no exceptions to this. Kebabs are a cornerstone dish of that culture. Fire roasted meat on a skewer can make even the bad days seem better. Kebabs can also take you on a trip across the ocean where you feel like you are eating in downtown Istanbul or on the Grecian Coast. So try my Fire Roasted Chicken Kebabs below and let your taste buds take you on a journey.
